A colleague keeps sending me articles about the dangers of inflation, including this op-ed today by Larry Summers. What's a good way to refute the argument Summers is laying out. I don't really know econ/finance stuff particularly well.

    A good first thing to ask yourself is if this is someone who is actually worth putting the effort into. If you're just trying to prove someone wrong who is already entrenched then you will just get a brief moment of hollow self satisfaction and then they will reply with some ludicrous lib shit until you end up frustrated. It is our job to educate but to think you can educate everyone yourself is arrogant, it's okay to just give up at a point, you don't have to concede but try to disengage at the point you may have put a spark of an idea on someone's head and before you push that idea so far they react against it.
